I feel like I&#39;m currently &quot;into&quot; Sanford maps right now. They&#39;ve been so helpful with my research.Kathy Reedhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09417754385375586302noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5568792259233928876.post-68932095350656827562011-11-30T09:54:38.222-05:002011-11-30T09:54:38.222-05:00Thank you so much for this information.

Therefore if I have an address from a 1912 death notice the address would still be the same today. Detroit&#39;s renumbering did not take place until 1920, so just varifying.SueMurphhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07467951841219005327noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5568792259233928876.post-55092901582921124502011-09-25T14:04:05.846-04:002011-09-25T14:04:05.846-04:00After writing this post, I happened to come across...After writing this post, I happened to come across this post http://blog.familytreemagazine.com/insider/2009/11/10/CincinnatiLibraryDigitizesSanbornMaps.aspx<br />that was published in Family Tree Magazine.

Doug mentioned using Cincinnati Directory listings (on the Virtual Library as well) in conjunction with the Sanborn maps and indexes to get a better idea of the neighborhood where your family lived.<br /><br />This was a great insight as most Cincinnati residents at the turn of the 20th century did not own their own houses. I&#39;m used to using property records to get a sense of the community, social standing, etc. But, for my Cincinnati renters, no such luck. Now I have a new way to learn more!Liz Strattonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14355785887810653358noreply@blogger.com
